Description

Type: Single-day activity
Duration: 3 hours
* Arkhangelsk is the country's first sea gate, a significant point on the map, and a port from where polar explorers and Arctic explorers set off on expeditions. On the sightseeing tour, you will learn what a significant role the city with more than 400 years of history plays in the history of Russia. In 2.5 hours we will see the "postcard" views. Arkhangelsk: monuments, the most famous of which is depicted on a 500-ruble bill, ancient architecture, the embankment of the Northern Dvina, the place where the shipyard appeared for the first time in our state – Solombala, a pedestrian street. In addition, we will go through places where tourists usually do not visit. All this in the atmosphere of an indescribable local flavor, sung by the storyteller Stepan Pisakhov. Arkhangelsk is the beginning of not only trade with foreign merchants, but also the development of the Arctic. From here came the expeditions of famous polar explorers such as Sedov and Rusanov, who gave the world discoveries in the northernmost part of the Earth. Both in the 18th century and today, the city plays an important role in organizing scientific research expeditions to explore the Arctic. We'll see: - the oldest building in the city - ice pedestrian crossings (in winter) - wooden sidewalks and embankment (in summer) - monument to Peter I, which is depicted on a 500-ruble bill – gazebo, where the exiled A. Green was inspired by the beauty of the northern sunsets and later wrote "Scarlet Sails" – the building of the pre-revolutionary smugglers and find out what they were selling - the historical district of Solombala, where the first shipyards of the state once appeared - the northernmost Russian skyscraper - "Chumbarovka" (local Arbat) is a pedestrian avenue on which the appearance of the merchant Arkhangelsk of the late XIX – early XX centuries is recreated - many other attractions, including those located away from the usual tourist routes For the comfort of travelers and to see as many attractions as possible, the tour combines walking and driving in a comfortable business class car.
